New Coal Fields Discovered.

H. j. Cardwell showed us, a few
days ago, some specimens of very
fine coal taken from his lands near
the Dick England place, about s
miles from McMinnville. Mr.. Card
well says the vein where they are
opening it is fully three feet thick,
exclusive of the slate formation at
the upper end and lower surface of
the coal. The distance is only S
miles, the road is good almost the
entire way, which makes Mr.. Card
wells coal banks the most accessible
to this place Of any yet discovered.
We do not know the exact distance
it is from the nearest point on the
railroad. but can't be over five or six
miles. If1Ir. Cardwel'S coal fields

Falcon Roller Mill Company.

The work Of changing the Falcon
Touring mill to a roller process mill
has been completed, and the machin-
cry has been run some this week
just to smooth it up, but no flour has
been made yet. The mill will start
to grinding today or Monday, and
when it gets under full Roadway will
have capacity Of one hundred
barrels of -four per day. The compa-
ny is now erecting a large wheat
house at the north end of the mill.
This mill will now givea good home
market for all the wheat raised in
Warren county, and also supply the
home demand for the best quality of
flour. For three or four years past
McMinnville has been shipping flour
from Nashville at the rate of several
thousand pounds per week, which
will now be discontinued, and the
shipments will go the other way.

are as extensive as he thinks they
are, this would present a fine OPP
portunity for capitalists to organize Il
strong company with ample capital
to build branch road, or offer in
ducement to the n. c. d st. Louis
company to build it. There are
large tracts of lands lying beyond
Mr.. Cardwells, and it is only ques-
ton of a few years until these unde-
veloped coal interests will be APP
preached by railways. Would it not
be well for some of our home capital,
which is going to Chattanooga, Nash
vile and elsewhere, to seak invest
ment nearer home, even in our own
county, if it can be made to pay as
good dividends? Would it not be
well for Mr.. Cardwell and other
owners of coal fields near by to offer
inducements to home capitalists, to
investigate these interests and see if
it would pay to develop them? 1t
would cost but little and might lead
to big boom for this section Of coun-
try. A little effort in this direction
might accomplish much toward
bringing the Midland road this way.
Let Mr., Cardwell and Others owning
coal interests get together and make
an effort to organize bona fide com.
pany with capital sufficient to offer
inducements to some railroad compa-
ny to build a road to these coal fields.

A New Departure.

AS will be seen by the large adver-
tisement on our first page today,
Messrs. j. C. M. Ross d Son will
adopt strictly a cash system in their
business on and after the first day of
June. 1t is not necessary for us to
make any remarks here upon the adj
vantages of this system to both seller
and purchaser. Every merchant
who sells goods on credit loses more
or less by bad debts; it naturally fol-
lows then that he must make suffi-
cient profit off of those who do pay
to cover these losses. The merchant
who sells only for cash can afford to
sell for a smaller profit. Messrs. Ross
& Son have gone through their entire
stock, which is large, varied and at
tractive, and marked every article
down to a cash basis. After June lst
they will not sell goods on credit to
anybody, but to cash customers they
offer bargains which no credit house
can make.

Lightness of Tools.

In the selection of tools and ma
chimes, lightness is too often over
looked. A proper design, strength,
and good material are essential; but
to the proper working of the tool,
lightness is equally important. An
over-weighty implement is clumsy
one; hence it makes work slower and
more laboriOus. Economy of energy
in the execution of work must be aim
ed at and it cannot be attained with
uselessly heavy tools. Manufacturers
find iron cheaper than wood; hence
iron is often used when wood would
answer the purpose as well, and be
lighter. 1t would be better to pay a
little more for the implement, if nee
cSsary, and get wood in place Of iron.
Some thoughtlessly prefer iron to
wood because it occupies less space,
and its use makes a neater-loOking
implement. Unfortunately, they
please their eyes at the expense of
their teams or the amount of woEll
done. Iron and steel have their
proper places, and for various parts
in many implements are better than
wood; but wood also has its proper
places, where it is better than iron or
steel, and should be put in those
places.-American Agriculturist for
May.
